IT Expert Joins Growing Group of Female Tech Leaders
Dell Australia and New Zealand has appointed Angela Fox as the managing director, making her part of the growing list of female leaders of big technology companies in Australia, including Twitter’s Karen Stocks, Google’s Maile Carnegie and Microsoft’s Pip Marlow.
Fox, a New Zealander, who most recently served as vice-president and general manager of Dell’s services business division for the Asia Pacific and Japan in Singapore, will assume the role on 7 July.
Fox has 24 years of IT experience. She worked for IBM’s server division before joining Dell in 2007.
Fox said she was pleased to join that group.
“I’m a great advocate for diversity and inclusion – it’s a personal passion. For me it’s about creating an environment where diversity of views is valued.”
She said in markets where women were still a minority in leadership, there were opportunities to effect change.

Cyber Safety ... what do you know about it?
OWLS consists of 24 modules that cover four themes:
Own your information – take control, Wait before you upload, Lock your information, Safety first. The resource provides a complete cyber-education programme that teachers can work through, or alternatively they can select a module that fits in with their existing classroom programme.
The aim of the OWLS is to help students manage their personal information and to also provide a way to involve both families and the wider community in conversations around internet safety.
“Learning how to behave wisely online is something we must share and discuss with young people in our classrooms and homes”
